TLDR

  • On the SBS entertainment program 'My Little Old Boy,' Kim Jun-ho faced criticism from his partner Kim Ji-min after attempting to secretly purchase an island.
  • The incident occurred during a trip to Tongyeong with fellow cast members Heo Kyung-hwan, Choi Jin-hyuk, and Yuk Joong-wan.
  • Kim Ji-min's strong disapproval, expressed through a phone call where she stated she was "sick," caused tension among the group.

Viewers of SBS's popular entertainment show 'My Little Old Boy' were treated to a dramatic and humorous turn of events this past Sunday, May 3rd, as comedian Kim Jun-ho found himself in hot water with his partner, Kim Ji-min.

The episode featured Kim Jun-ho, along with castmates Heo Kyung-hwan, Choi Jin-hyuk, and Yuk Joong-wan, on a trip to Tongyeong. During their travels, Kim Jun-ho casually announced his intention to buy an island. This declaration immediately raised eyebrows, particularly from Choi Jin-hyuk, who questioned whether Kim Ji-min had approved such a significant purchase. Kim Jun-ho, seemingly unfazed, suggested that one should "just do it" and deal with the consequences later.

However, the situation quickly escalated when Yuk Joong-wan shared a cautionary tale about his own experience buying a motorcycle without his wife's consent, which nearly led to him being kicked out of the house. He humorously declared that buying an island would be grounds for divorce, adding to the comedic tension.

Kim Jun-ho then called Kim Ji-min to gauge her reaction, asking if it would be acceptable to buy the island with the others contributing a share ('N๋ถ„์˜ 1'). Kim Ji-min's response was firm and unequivocal: "Don't do that." She then added, "I'm sick," before hanging up. This statement sent a clear signal of her displeasure, leaving Kim Jun-ho and the other cast members in a state of nervous anticipation, with Heo Kyung-hwan jokingly suggesting they pretend the day never happened.

I'm sick.
